PROG Holdings Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

April 24, 2024
  • Consolidated revenues of $641.9 million; Earnings before taxes of $31.6 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $72.6 million
  • Diluted EPS of $0.49; Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.91
  • Progressive Leasing GMV of $418.5 million, flat year-over-year
  • Raises full year consolidated revenue and earnings outlook

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 24, 2024-- PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Vive Financial, Four Technologies, and Build, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"We're pleased with our strong start to the year, with first quarter financial performance exceeding our expectations, driven by better-than-expected GMV, strong portfolio performance and disciplined spending," said PROG Holdings President and CEO Steve Michaels. "Despite continued sluggish retail demand in our leasable categories, we have delivered a meaningful increase in balance of share with key retail partners. Our continued investments in marketing, sales, and technology to support our retail partners and the consumer's need for flexible purchase options gives us the confidence to project a low single digit GMV growth for the second quarter, even in the face of this challenging macroeconomic environment. We believe our financial strength, highlighted by strong margins and cash flow, enables us to invest in these growth initiatives while returning excess cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases," concluded Michaels.

Consolidated Results

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $641.9 million, a decrease of 2.0% from the same period in 2023, driven by a lower gross leased asset balance entering the quarter.

Consolidated net earnings for the quarter were $22.0 million, compared with $48.0 million in the prior year period. The decline in net earnings was primarily driven by $18.0 million of restructuring expense relating to our cost reduction actions we executed in January. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter decreased 19.1% to $72.6 million, or 11.3% of revenues, compared with $89.7 million, or 13.7% of revenues for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decline in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by headwinds from portfolio performance returning to pre-pandemic levels, and a smaller portfolio size during the first quarter.

Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2024 were $0.49, compared with $1.00 in the year ago period. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.91 in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $1.11 for the same period in 2023. The Company's weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution in the first quarter was 7.5% lower year-over-year.

Progressive Leasing Results

Progressive Leasing's first quarter GMV of $418.5 million was flat compared to the same period in 2023. The provision for lease merchandise write-offs for the quarter was 7.0%, within the Company's 6%-8% targeted annual range.

Liquidity and Capital Allocation

PROG Holdings ended the first quarter of 2024 with cash of $252.8 million and gross debt of $600 million. The Company repurchased $24.4 million of its stock in the quarter at an average price of $31.31 per share, leaving $475.6 million of repurchase authorization under the $500 million share repurchase program. Additionally, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.12 per share.

2024 Outlook

PROG Holdings is updating its full year 2024 outlook for revenue and earnings as well as providing its outlook for revenues, net earnings, adjusted EBITDA, GAAP diluted EPS, and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2024. This outlook assumes a difficult operating environment with continued soft demand for consumer durable goods, no material changes in the Company's decisioning posture, no material increases in the unemployment rate for our consumer, an effective tax rate for non-GAAP EPS of approximately 30%, and no impact from additional share repurchases.

Forward-Looking Statements:

Statements in this news release regarding our business that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "continued", "project", "believe", "expects", "outlook", and similar forward-looking terminology. These risks and uncertainties include factors such as (i) continued volatility and challenges in the macro environment and, in particular, the unfavorable effects on our business of significant inflation, elevated interest rates, and fears of a recession, and the impact of those headwinds on: (a) consumer confidence and customer demand for the merchandise that our POS partners sell, in particular consumer durables; (b) our customers’ disposable income and their ability to make the lease and loan payments they owe the Company; (c) the availability of consumer credit; and (d) our overall financial performance and outlook; (ii) our businesses being subject to extensive laws and regulations, including laws and regulations unique to the industries in which our businesses operate, that may subject them to government investigations and significant monetary penalties and compliance-related burdens, as well as an increased focus by federal, state and local regulators on the industries within which our businesses operate, including with respect to consumer protection, customer privacy, third party and employee fraud and information security; (iii) deteriorating macroeconomic conditions resulting in the algorithms and other proprietary decisioning tools used in approving Progressive Leasing and Vive customers for leases and loans no longer being indicative of their ability to perform, which may limit the ability of those businesses to avoid lease and loan charge-offs or may result in their reserves being insufficient to cover actual losses; (iv) the impact of the cybersecurity incident experienced by Progressive Leasing in September 2023 and expenses incurred in connection with responding to the matter, including the litigation filed in response to that incident, or any regulatory proceedings that may result from the incident; (v) a large percentage of the Company’s revenues being concentrated with several of Progressive Leasing’s key POS partners; (vi) the risks that Progressive Leasing will be unable to attract new POS partners or retain and grow its business with its existing POS partners; (vii) Vive’s and Four’s business models differing significantly from Progressive Leasing’s, which creates specific and unique risks for each of the Vive and Four businesses, including Vive’s reliance on a limited number of bank partners to issue its credit products and each of Vive’s and Four’s exposure to the unique regulatory risks associated with the laws and regulations that apply to each of their businesses; (viii) our ability to continue to protect confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information, including the personal and confidential information of our customers, which may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct, computer viruses, electronic break-ins or "hacking", or similar disruptions, any one of which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects; (ix) our cost reduction initiatives may not be adequate or may have unintended consequences that could be disruptive to our businesses, including with respect to our global workforce strategy; (x) the risk that our capital allocation strategy, including our current stock repurchase and dividend programs, as well as any future debt repurchase program, will not be effective at enhancing shareholder value and may have an adverse impact on our cash reserves; (xi) the loss of the services of our key executives or our inability to attract and retain key talent, particularly with respect to our information technology function, may have a material adverse impact on our operations; (xii) increased competition from traditional and virtual lease-to-own competitors and also from competitors of our Vive segment; (xiii) the transactions offered by our Progressive Leasing, Vive and/or Four businesses may be negatively characterized by government officials, consumer advocacy groups or the media; (xiv) real or perceived software or system errors, failures, bugs, defects or outages, including those that may be caused by third-party vendors, may adversely affect Progressive Leasing, Vive or Four; and (xv) the other risks and uncertainties discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024. Statements in this press release that are "forward-looking" include without limitation statements about: (i) our expectations regarding GMV growth for the quarter ending June 30, 2024; (ii) our ability to continue investing in our business, including with respect to key growth initiatives; (iii) our expectations regarding returning excess cash to shareholders, including through dividends and/or share repurchases, and the benefits expected therefrom and (iv) our revised full year 2024 outlook and our second quarter 2024 outlook. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year 2024 outlook excludes intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and accrued interest on an uncertain tax position related to Progressive Leasing's $175 million settlement with the FTC in 2020. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second quarter 2024 outlook excludes intangible amortization expense and accrued interest on an uncertain tax position related to Progressive Leasing's $175 million settlement with the FTC in 2020. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 exclude intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, costs related to the cybersecurity incident, and accrued interest on an uncertain tax position related to Progressive Leasing's $175 million settlement with the FTC in 2020. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 exclude intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, regulatory insurance recoveries, and accrued interest on an uncertain tax position related to Progressive Leasing's $175 million settlement with the FTC in 2020. The amount for the after-tax non-GAAP adjustment, which is tax effected using our statutory tax rate, can be found in the reconciliation of net earnings and earnings per share assuming dilution to non-GAAP net earnings and earnings per share assuming dilution table in this press release.

The Adjusted EBITDA figures presented in this press release are calculated as the Company’s earnings before interest expense, net, depreciation on property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excludes stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, and costs related to the cybersecurity incident. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2024 outlook excludes stock-based compensation expense and restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2024 outlook excludes stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 excludes stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, and regulatory insurance recoveries. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments can be found in the segment EBITDA tables in this press release.

Management believes that non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.

Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings, and adjusted EBITDA provide management and investors with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that generally arose from larger, one-time transactions that are not reflective of the ordinary earnings activity of our operations or transactions that have variability and volatility of the amount. We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results with our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA also provides management and investors with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because the measures:

  • Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors.
  • Are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness.
  • Are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of our operating entities and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as the Company’s GAAP basis net earnings and diluted earnings per share and the GAAP revenues and earnings before income taxes of the Company’s segments, which are also presented in the press release. Further, we caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner.
